Mickey Hart Band… SuperOrganism Tour
I got contacted a while back to create the tour admat for the upcoming Mickey Hart Band tour, supporting his new album “SuperOrganism“. With this album, it seems that Mickey took a lot of inspiration from the internal rhythm the body and more specifically mind creates. At a lab, he measured the activity his brain makes while playing certain rhythms and created visual displays of them which were also translated into sounds to be used on the album. Crazy stuff.
The idea for the concept was to incorporate not just this idea of brain rhythm but actually incorporate one of the images of his brain scans.
The first round of ideas were more like something you would see sitting on a psychologist desk. The exposed brain in a bed of roses. We decided to go in the direction of the skull but wanted to push it in a more cosmic direction to emphasis the spaciness of his music as well harken back to some of the imagery of his past albums.
After some back and forth we decided to go a bit more traditional and make it the ol’ Grateful Dead skull logo. This way the brain scan will be fully seen and there would be no mistake with the type of show you are going to as admats are meant to be more straight to the point.
After completing this job, I realized that individually I have worked with almost every member of the Grateful Dead….. Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby & Phil Lesh (which unfortunately the work never saw the light of day). This also includes numerous Furthur gigs.
Definitely a check off on my bucket list
Widespread VA-VA-Variant!!!!
I don’t do variants that often but thought I would try it out for the latest Widespread Panic Wolftrap poster. I made a small run of 20 prints (signed/numbered) on Aspire Petallic Silver Ore paper which are now up in the POSTER Section and wanted the print to have a metallic shimmery feel to it.
The effect is more subtle than I had hoped but it still looks sweet. I had originally intended these to be on holographic paper but due to inventory & time constraints ended up moving forward w/ the Silver.

Currently SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!
The Coloring Nook!!!
With future poster releases I will be creating limited B&W versions with the intent of including them into orders of those w/ kids to color. All I ask in return is that those who receive one send a picture of the final colored product I can post in the “COLORING NOOK“, which is an album on my Scraped Knee Facebook page.
I know collectors and eBay’ers love variants but this is NOT FOR COLLECTORS,.. IT IS FOR KIDS!!! I’m just testing this idea so please do not abuse it.
The first release will be with the Widespread Panic (Vienna VA) print releasing tomorrow in which I have only printed 15. The first 15 to contact me (art@scrapedknee.com) after their order tomorrow will receive 1 print.
To try and make sure these go to the right people (kids) those who do not send back a photo of their child’s super duper creation or if these pop up somewhere else being resold, I will put a hex on you and you will not be eligible again and insulted by many a person.
Man I hate rules…. click below to head to the NOOK page.
